Tucker came to cuddle me while I was taking pictures so I had to throw this picture in!!

Here is a bright and fun look! I was asked to do something a little more crazy and colourful so this is what I came up with! I really love the look of these 3 colours together.

Fall is on it's way and this is the last true month of summer (at least where I live) so I figure I better go out with a bang and play with/wear some fun colours before the summer is over. Hope you all do that too.

So here is a look that is a little new for me. If seen this kind of placement when it comes to eyeshadow in the past but never tried it out... I must say, I really do like it.

It is wearable but dramatic all at the same time. The best part is this look is quite easy and would look awesome yet so different in other colours.

I am for sure going to be trying this look out more often in the future.

Hope you all like :D

So here is a look that was actually requested by the darling Simone from Sigma Makeup. She wanted to see my Go-To Night Out Look and here it is! To be quite honest, I wear this look during the day too because even though it has that smokiness to it, it is still light and eye brightening so it's very wearable. I really love the way these colours look and they honestly could suit everyone!

Hope you will try it out if you like it!

Hope you all like it and try out some colourful looks that may be out of your regular comfort zone... even if you don't like the look on you in the end... at least you tried :D

I know it's been a while since I've posted a look but I was away on vacation!! Missed you all.

.

So here is a new look! I went to the MAC to the Beach Collection Unveiling and as soon as I saw Sweet & Punchy eyeshadow, I knew I needed it and wanted to do a look for you guys.

It is so bright and fun!! It is such a unique colour and I'm really loving this look.

Hope you all enjoy it too and try out lots of bright looks this summer :D

First Impressions: MAC to the Beach Collection

So if you follow me on Twitter... you'll know that I got an invite and went to the unveiling of MAC's new MAC to the Beach Collection Event. It was really fun! There were drinks (strong alcoholic beachy drinks) and finger foods, plus some sexy male models that were all bronzed up :D
This collection was pretty big. It included a normal type of range of products (blushes, lip liners, eye kohls, lipglasses, lipsticks, eyeshadows and nail polishes) then there was a second part that was all bronzing and highlighting products.
Right of the bat I can tell you I skipped the second part totally. I do think the bronzers were nice but I am in love with my Nars Laguna and Bahama Mama by The Balm so I didn't think I needed anymore. Then there were cream blushes and those to me were a no-no! In my opinion I just don't think cream bronzers are a smart idea... I dunno... I wouldn't want my bronzer having the option of melting off my face. The Bronze Body Oil was actually very nice but it's not something I would use often enough to need. Then there were lustre drops which are highlighters and as much as they are truly gorgeous, I just have so many highlighters so I didn't want to pick up something I didn't think would get a lot of use.
On to the first part of this collection and the things I did purchase!!!

~Hipness Blush~

This blush is absolutely gorgeous and like nothing I have! It's a pinky peachy coral colour which I am loving this season. If you have and love Instant Chic Blush (which I know many people do) this is similar but more vibrant so on days you want more of a pop on your cheeks... this is the way I'll go!

The other blush was a very nice bronze tone that I think would look amazing on darker skin tones.

There also was the Marine Life Highlight thingy and it was gorgeous. However, I personally liked the colour of Hipness Blush better then it when it was swirled together. Also, if the gold overspray stuck around and wasn't gone after a few uses, I would have liked it more but it disappears quickly. To me it is just a big and overpriced blush with a pretty seahorse on it. That is just my opinion, I know a lot of people love it but to each their own right?!

~Sweet & Punchy Eyeshadow~

.

I knew I wanted this eyeshadow as soon as a saw it when photos of this collection came out. It is a fun and bright yellow toned green! It is so stunning and I am pumped to do a look with it! For sure a must have for those that have large eyeshadow collections.

The other eyeshadows were quite nice and went well with the collection however two of them are permanent colours so there is no need to run out for them. The other two were in the coral and peach tones, very pretty but not extremely unique in my opinion.

~Flurry of Fun~

Wow wow wow wow... yep, that is how I explain this colour. Seeing it online previous to seeing it in person I thought it was unique and had it on my list of things to buy. I guess I was right because as soon as a swatched it, I knew I needed it. When I left the store and put it on I was in love. It's a coral-orange colour but has teal shimmers in it which is amazing! It looks gorgeous on and I honestly think it would look amazing on all skin tones!

The other lipglasses were nice as well but they were both pinky so because I have so many colours like that I just passed on them to be smart with my money.

There were also some really nice lipsticks but I have so many lipsticks so I actually just stayed away from them so I wouldn't be tempted to buy any. (my sister did pick up two of them)

So here are the swatches of the things I got... from left to right: Hipness Blush, Sweet & Punchy Eyeshadow and Flurry of Fun Lipglass. (the swatch above them all is Vex Eyeshadow which I didn't own and decided to get)

Here are two random things I got while there... Vex Eyeshadow and I needed some more Brush Cleanser :)

So those are the things I got and my feelings on the collection itself. I really think all in all it is a fun and beachy collection with a lot to offer everyone!

This look is so glowy and beachy for the summer time. The coral gives the eyes a pop of colour but the bronze keeps it quite neutral at the same time. The combo of these MAC eyeshadows is amazing. They all have a gold sheen to them that just makes them look blended so easily. I love this look and am for sure going to be sporting it in Mexico (I'll offically be there in 6 days woohoo) and all summer long. Hope you all love it and try it out :D
